The Vacant Lot Episode 1

[@mistergone5156]

I loved this show so much when it was on, glad to see it here.

[@edjfitz]

Love those Canadian TV production values and, of course, the humor.

[@ALWTunes]

This was such a great show that no one remembers unfortunately. Thanks for posting.

[@dallaskline9615]

Omg I LOVED this show

[@yumfoodproject]

I cannot tell you for long I’ve been looking for the boxing skit with the wizard. Saw this when it first came on Comedy Central!

[@danieldougan269]

Thanks for uploading this! I would gladly pay for the DVD if such a thing existed.

[@conorgilles81]

All my favorite Kids in the Hall extras. I wish this would have lasted more than one season.

[@jamespatterson9372]

Amen big dawg.them and k.i.t.h was ahead of it's time..fun fer the whole fam.

Let's start a writing campaign to Lorne Michael's for Hulu release.

[@tonyafowler5122]

I read it was supposed to be renewed for a second season (and there was a commercial on Comedy Central saying the same), but it apparently came down to a choice between the Vacant Lot and Exit 57 (another sketch comedy show). Comedy Central allegedly chose Exit 57 because it was cheaper to make. I was super pissed because I loved the Vacant Lot and didn’t like Exit 57 at all. Poor choice, Comedy Central.

[@the-dave-house-project]

@@tonyafowler5122 How in the world was it cheaper? I would think just having Mark McKinney's brother in the credits would have made it worth running... even if it wasn't at least as good as Kids in the Hall in it's own right.

[@victorhiggins9636]

@@tonyafowler5122 Actually it was because the CBC (the network this was on alongside TKitH) wanted to phase out of "edgy" comedy shows.

[@the-dave-house-project]

Why does this channel only have 350'ish subscribers!?? Lol. I love the Vacant Lot!

[@dlxmarks]

So many great sketch comedy shows that were short lived and whose casts, for the most part, weren't seen much in front of the camera again.

[@MrXabungle]

Rob (tall glasses dude) quietly retired in the 2000s, Vito (bald dude) writes primarily for animation and co-runs a studio, Nick McKinney works as a producer and Paul still writes for comedy but has work extensively in voice acting.

[@LittleJerryFan92]

@@MrXabungle Where did you hear that Rob retired from show biz life?

[@MrXabungle]

@@LittleJerryFan92 I asked Paul on Twitter and he confirmed it. He still maintains in touch with him.

[@LittleJerryFan92]

@@MrXabungle Oh, what’s his twitter profile? I’m unable to find him there (I could only find him on instagram)

[@DaveKovalComedy]

i love the way this was shot!

[@smartbunny]

This show deserved better. It’s fucking great. Pumpkin spider.

[@RobbyRetro]

What a great show!!!

[@RobbyRetro]

Comedy Central was awesome in the 90s!!!

[@christinithcaldwell7980]

I recorded all of these on vhs back in 1994. Rushing home from school to hit record in time.

[@opaljk4835]

It bothers me that this wasn’t live and a studio audience was still present

[@fthiss6252]

I loved this show so much lol

[@philipsmith3968]

I loved the Chamber of Horrors sketch. It was more like a Chamber of Childhood Horrors. And even though it was a little cruel, I liked the sketch where the dog smuggler gets turned into a human piñata. It's like something from a cartoon. Phil the Cat

[@mikedestructive]

I was the only one my age watching this show. Always loved the jesus swim sketch.

[@jonathanross149]

No way, their most memorable skit is their 1st one?

[@victorhiggins9636]

Crazy right

[@juanelorriaga2840]

“Ripped up like douche” Lol

[@Guitcad1]

"Blinded by The Light" I love some of the sketches from this show, but yeah, if this was how they started out I'm not surprised audiences didn't stick around. That first one was downright tedious!

[@CyTolliver]

I found it *quite humorous*

[@vykkye]

Love it!!

[@redhairedgirl77]

loooove this show

[@mattkilleen7174]

"Panic" to Kids in the Hall's "MAD"

[@jayanxiety]

It always seemed like this show was destined to become "Kids in the Hall Lite", even casting Mark McKinney's lesser-known, not-quite-as-funny younger brother.

[@multitudeofidols]

Where's this from? The other copies have the Comedy Central logo in the corner, so is this from a different source? Also, can you upload equally good copies of the subsequent five episodes?

[@driferdark4339]

Problem with this show was they led with literally their best sketch,it was all down hill from there.

[@asapnickybars4693]

Wow sort of ahead of their time with the priest joke!

[@danieldougan269]

They were making jokes about creepy pedophile priests in 1995. Think about that.

[@vondernacht]

A DVD is still way to late a reality for this show. Make it happen.

[@fattony9227]

Another short lived and wacky Canadian comedy show. Too bad it didn't last very long. Of course, the writers would have probably run out of insane sketch ideas anyway. Good while it lasted.

[@MrXabungle]

They wrote a full season's worth of material before CBC axed it.

[@dariawells7438]

Another example of how Canadian comedy is an oxymoron.

[@stevencorsoe7512]

Daria Wells True bring back truly good comedy...with feedback,gone are the days of second city,vacant lot,and kids in the hall.

[@williamnichols2067]

Kids In The Hall ripoffs

[@IQ7000]

William Nichols one of em was a brother. It's a skit show by the same producer hardly a rip off

[@williamnichols2067]

Cool, never knew. I really miss the good ole sketch comedy from the 90's. The State from MTV was good as well.

[@leonablackwell4907]

IQ7000 Nick was Mark McKinney's youngster brother

[@stevencorsoe7512]

William Nichols The same style of comedy not the same and the metaphors are so great.This is the kind of comedy we should see today creativity is dead.

[@ALLNEWSUX1]

Since you apparently were watching The Kids In The Hall with your hands over your eyes, all the members of The Vacant Lot were understudies of the Kids who simply spring boarded into their own series...that's not a ripoff
